I met Bonnie at Write! Canada conference in June. She's an amazing woman, very personable. I hope you have a great time at the conference.
I can't make it to the fall conference, but I can't wait for the spring one!
Eileen - I've really enjoyed chatting with Bonnie via email and reading her book, so I'm looking forward to meeting her.
Steena - I'll see you in the spring, then! :)
Bonnie's working hard on her workshops, and on her next book. She'll be at the conference the Friday for supper - take good care of her! She grew up in Edmonton.
